and that is the death of this thread lol

Its dont an external thing, it exist inside the server! either 2, 3 or 4 HDD's connected to a RAID controller!!! Most modern mobo's have a built in RAID controller, and all pre-built servers will have RAID already configured!

that is a NAS box, not what we are talkign about at all

no

surely it would take a lot of impact to twist a bonnet?! are you sure its not just the rubber spacer incorrectly adjusted?

Ok, so now your going back to NAS drives? :Confused: Thought you wanted a WS2008 box?

lol its like de-ja-vu!

Yes but as its a business server it shoudl have the right type of RAID, do you not agree?

i totally missed that lol. eyes must have been tired at that point :p

We should also point out that RAID also adds other benifits such as increased data access speed due to multiple spindles...

I think he does as he put "There are many ways to configure it", I am a RAID10 man myself, what do other prefer? 5 or 10?

Yes if you want to minimise server downtime due to a fail HDD. All servers should have some config of raid. It has nothing to do with networking, it allows you to recover from a HDD failuer so you dont loose your data.

quite correct, if your file gets curroupted at a file system level then it will be corrupted accross the whole array. It stops corruption from being a problem at a hardware level if a disk fails. I dont think anyone said RAID was a backup method :S

I use clonezilla, its free and does everything ghost does :)

did you check the PSU :p sounds like one of th elines has gone down if it dosnt even post

yep. thats the norm! you dont suppy a username and password though, thats built into the system normally and is hidden. the username and password your users use to log into the system if differnt (thats acutally stored in the db).

APEX will be fine then, take a look at my gallery section and you should see some shots of my red mk1 on apex springs/shocks

Ok it sound like you have an ERP system going in place. That ERP system will have a database which can be installed on the server; this might be a file based database system (like access or paradox) or a server based database system (like MSSQL). Either way, the database gets installed on the...

no no no no no!!

i also mentioned about running applications on the server using RDP (with multi user CALS)... Although this seem pointless to me unless you have a special bit of software you need to use at a central point that dosnt use a network accessable database? Also if he has WS2008, then he can setup a...

I would use avast as stated before. However that has nothing to do with stopping corruption! Thats what RAID is for...

ok so your not even talkign about a reconised model?! The cisco hierarchical internetworking model is not a full and accepted model!!!! Talk ISO!! And yes, you have just confirmed that the only thing a switch can do is MAC filtereing! Thats not even 5% of security within a network! Also...

I wouldnt touch Norton!!! Unless you want your server to act like a P100! For anit-malware I use "avast!", imo its the best out there at the moment. you should be able to setup a firewall in the ADSL router so no need for another on the server (besides the windows firewall).

+1 on this; I normally setup my clients with a bit of free software called fBackup. they have 6 hard drives, one for each day of the working week + 1 for a monthly backup. Nice and simple and is suitable for most people. However if you want versioning, then you will need some paid software...

Id love you to show me a switch that has the ability to read whats in a packet and perform packet filtering! This is layer 3 stuff not layer 2 stuff. The only thing you can do with a switch is simple things like MAC filtering. Also i am not aware of an "access" layer, maybe its changed sinse I...

Welcome Zoe! Im going to hazard a guess that your 18 years old from your username, which probably also means you recently passed your driving test and this is either your first or second car? If it is, you have made the right choice! My first car was a clio and I have been buying clio's ever...

I should have said the executable gets run on the client machine in my previous post, althougth the file is launched from the server

If the application is a simple executable, then yes. If you mean applications which have to be installed, then no. The only way you can do this as far as I know is using a thin client setup (or using RDP into WS2008). Other please correct me if I am wrong on this...

switches are only layer 2 of the ISO model (data link layer) and dont provide any form of real security. Are you talking about 'smart switches' which are a hybrid of a router and a switch that can inspect packets? :S Also I dont think VLANs are needed tbh! For a business thats just getting...

Network wise, I would always run 2 NICs inside the server connected back the switch and have them load balancing, this allows multiple clients to acces the server at the same time without causing too much of a bottleneck at the server. As for the client machines, if they are to be fat clients...
